I had a heart attack at age 54 and retired 9 monthes later and hiked thruout the SW US the next 8 years. These are the pictures of where my hiking took me. The first 5 years most of my hiking was solo. Then I met a gentleman who was doing the same thing and we hiked together most of the time for the next 3 years. The timeframe was 1993 to 2001.

Elliot,
I've forgotten which Panoramio name you can use these days. We'd email chatted a bit ago regarding this area. (I was dshorb at the time). Google's method, makes it so I can't access that account these days. I'd like to chat about this area. So, if you get a chance, can you email me at southwestbackcountry@gmail.com. I'm thinking about skiing the CDT through here (Cumbres to Wolf Creek Pass). Thanks.
